Πηρούνι is a 2014 by Nikita Alexeev, held at Metropolitan Organisation of Museums of Visual Arts of Thessaloniki – MOMus.
You see a sharp metal fork floating in dark space. It’s drawn in fine lines, almost like a wire frame. The fork tilts slightly, its tines pointing down. This drawing comes from a series about Plato’s idea of love. Each piece pairs two objects to show how things long for their perfect form. Here, the fork stands in for something that’s lost or incomplete. Look up the artist who made this, Alexeev, Nikita (1953).
